ACPL-K370/K376 - Avago Technologies' Small Isolated Voltage/Current Detectors With 8mm Creepage and Clearance
Avago Technologies today announced two new miniature voltage/current threshold detection optocouplers for use in a wide range of industrial control applications. The ACPL-K370/K376 optocouplers are designed to detect AC/DC sources and convert the voltage to a logic interface across an optical coupling barrier to provide safe isolation in electronically noisy environments found in industrial applications. These voltage/current sensing optocouplers...
MAX14523A/B/C: Programmable Current-Limit Switches Protect Host Devices from Faulty Loads
Maxim has introduced the MAX14523A/MAX14523B/MAX14523C, a family of adjustable current-limit switches. These overcurrent limiters offer a ±10% accurate current limit that can be programmed from 250mA to 1500mA with an external resistor.
Vishay Extends Resistance Range of E/H MIL-55342-Qualified Resistor Chips in Compact 2208, 2010, and 2512 Case Sizes
Vishay Intertechnology today announced that it has extended the resistance range of its E/H MIL-PRF-55342-qualified thin film resistor chips in the compact 2208, 2010, and 2512 case sizes. Allowing for lower resistance values in high-reliability applications, the enhanced devices feature ratings down to 49.9 Ω at ± 25 ppm/°C TCR and a 0.1 % tolerance, and 10 Ω at a 1.0 % tolerance.
1500W Surface-Mount TransZorb TVS with Breakdown Voltages from 6.7 V to 42.4 V
Vishay Intertechnology today announced a new series of 1500-W surface-mount TransZorb® transient voltage suppressors (TVS) with an industry low profile of 1.1 mm. The SMPC series offers breakdown voltages from 6.7 V to 42.4 V and excellent clamping capability from 10.0 V to 58.1 V.
Panel Potentiometer Features Long Life of 2 Million Cycles and Compact 12.5-mm Size
Vishay Intertechnology today announced a new economical, long-life panel potentiometer featuring up to four modules and a compact 12.5-mm size. While standard low-cost panel potentiometers reach 50,000 cycles, the P11L offers a long life of 2 million cycles. For designers, this reduces the need for replacement parts, increasing reliability and lowering maintenance costs.
